Right away I need to make a major correction from one of my recent columns. Lauren McKenzie Melton is Mrs. SPENCER Bennett not Scott. So sorry for the error.

We extend our condolences to the loved ones of Robbie Geneva West Rogers, a 1961 graduate of Auburn High School. She was currently living in Kentucky.

We are saddened to learn of the death of  Patsy Fults who passed away Wednesday. Our sympathy to her family and friends.

Fall break was a busy week for lots of folks. A lot of traveling. No news last week due to our being away.

Disney World was a popular place with families of young children. Derrick and C. J. Hughes treated their girls, Kiley and Lily, to a fun time at Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom where they got to meet several of the Disney characters and even got to play some of the parts of the plays and I believe Kiley is a good actress from the plays she been in here at the Cannon Co. Arts Center. They also enjoyed a boat ride on the ocean at Clearwater Beach, Fl.

The Crooks, Jason and Melinda, treated their daughter, Lily to a trip to Disney World.

Another set of Crooks, Chris, Emily, Caitlyn and Emma Claire enjoyed a cruise.

Cheyrel and Doug Pursell spent all the time they could on fall break in Spring Hill. Could it be because of their first grandchild?_ Little Annalee Min Pursell made her way into this world Sunday, October 14th at 9:13 p.m. weighing in at 8 lbs., 11 oz. She was 21¼" in length. Her proud parents are Jacob and Annette. Congratulations

Terry and Patrick Thomas enjoyed a weekend with the Francises, Bobby and Brenda trail riding the beautiful hills of north Tennessee.

Wednesday of fall break was a day to take in Tennessee Tech for the Reed family as Janna made her decision to further her education following high school graduation this spring. They all like what they saw.

Friday, Tim, DeAnna, Janna, Alayna and Adrianna took as their guests, Shelby Mulloy and Case Isenhart, to Fall Creek Falls where they enjoyed a lot of hiking and checking out nature trails.

We made our annual trek to Gatlinburg with Ruth and Marvin Davenport and Robbie Owen. This year we took a long way around in order to ride by the Ocoee River and take in Fields of the Wood in Murphy, NC. It was then up the Tennessee side to the mountains. We enjoyed touring the 8-mile Arts and Crafts Community, Country Tonite show, and eating a 6-scoop banana split at Mel's Diner. Leaving out Thursday morning, we crossed over the mountain to eat lunch at Maggie Valley Restaurant and came down the North Carolina side and back up to Oren Wooden Apple Barn where we topped our trip off with a fried apple pie and ice cream.

Ruth and Marvin enjoyed Friday night when granddaughter, Kelsy Davenport, came up from Auburn University bringing some friends to enjoy a camp fire. The following day they were off to Nashville where they attended the Vanderbilt-Auburn football game and although the game wasn't to their liking, they did have fun at the camp fire.

Saturday was the annual trip to Bell Buckle for the Arts and Crafts Show. Karen Stinnett of Brush Creek, Diane McAllister, DeAnna, Janna and I made this annual trip enjoying the beautiful weather and drive (as well as the food.) We ran into Paige Tenpenny and her grandmoter.

Lake Winnie was a day full of fun for Ralph, Sandy, Dillon and Jessica Jackson, Melissa Melton, Misty Mingle and Destiny Melton and Ray Ray Keene.
